Get Set, GO...........!
Aaron and I decided to sign up for the well known SteamBoat Classic held a couple of weeks ago. As I was on the website, I stumbled across a fun little racing series for kids of all ages. So what do you think....we asked Qman if he was interested not knowing what to expect....he replied, "that would be awesome!" So we got our sneakers on, a tank top for his sweaty self and a bottle water and went on our way. We get there and there are tons of kids ages 2-8, in fact, at first Quinton seemed a little shy and almost anxious. They were stretching, warming up their muscles and then they were broken into age groups, then QMAN was ready and so excited!
Q's plan was to lead the pack of 3 year olds and he did, he got 1st place. Aaron and I were so excited, however, didn't want to get too excited because there was a important life lesson to be taught afterwards. The Lesson: You are not always going to first, it's important to have good sportsmanship, tell everyone good race and as long as you have tried your hardest Mom and Dad are proud, no matter what place you receive!
However, inside we both were so pumped, a little of our competitive side coming out I think......Anyway, just some fun summer events that will keep us busy teaching and experiencing! Go Quinton Go!!!!!!!!! We are so proud!
